2014 So Far

I’ve been home from my camping trip for about 4 days, and I’m finding it hard to get back into the swing of things. I just got used to doing nothing and now all of a sudden, I’ve got to get back into doing ALL THE THINGS!

This is not helped by the fact that J is away for the week, so it’s only me to motivate me to get things done. I’ve been writing a list, and sadly blogging wasn’t on it.

I’ve found it hard to find motivation, inspiration and the time to write. I suppose, it’s not a priority at the moment. But I saw this post (inspired by this one), and I thought it might kick start my year of writing.

Making: A shelving unit for laundry baskets. Call it nesting, call it feed up with the mess, but I think that it’s time that things like this get done. I’ll be sharing it as soon as it’s finished.

Cooking: Peach syrup cake. It’s also what we’ve been eating!

Drinking: Soda water. I took the soda stream camping (I love that it’s not connected to a power outlet), and drank soda, lime and bitters! Delicious, refreshing and much lower sugar content than having lemonade.

Reading: Orange Is The New Black – Piper Kerman and Led By Destiny – Kinga Freespirit.

Wanting: To meet Baby Reilly.

Looking: Through The Diggers Club catalogue to by new seeds for the coming planting seasons.

Playing: A lot of Phase 10, Vision and Cribbage.

Deciding: On what we should plant. We’ve narrowed it down to things we eat a lot of, and can justify buying small amounts of other things, or going without.

Wishing: That J didn’t have to work in Sydney this week. Our house is big and empty when he’s not here.

Enjoying: Learning how to do nothing, or not very much. I usually find it a struggle.

Waiting: For another 8 weeks.

Liking: Opshopping for baby clothes. So much cheaper, such a great range and surprise at what you might find, not to mentions better for our planet.

Wondering: How I’ll fill my days now that I’m no longer going to work. I’ve got a few things up my sleeve and I hope that this here blog will see a little more action.

Loving:The warm days!

Pondering: Gertrude, our broody hen and if the fertalised eggs that we’ve ordered will hatch.

Considering: The heat, water consumption, planting, buying land (one day), getting more produce out of our garden etc.

Watching: Revenge and the new season of Girls.

Hoping: That the end of something I’ve been trying to get out of for a little while comes sooner rather than later.

Marvelling: At how easy things can be if you just try.

Needing: A pedicure. I’m not one for paying for pampering, but it’s almost at the point where I can’t reach my own feet, and I really just want someone to pamper me.

I’m glad there was some relaxing on the list Clare. I must admit I thought you meant the other type of wind but I wouldn’t have thought twice about it given your state 🙂
I hadn’t had a pedicure since our wedding and have had 4 in the last few months purely for the fact that I can’t get at my feet. Totally worth the splurge!
I might have to do one of these posts myself.

I just watched the show Orange is the New Black and loved it. Maybe get it for when you are breast feeding, I think there are two/three seasons. Eek – its a girl! Great list, makes me think I should get a little more organised. Op shopping is going to have to start soon. A pedicure does sound nice too, though I have never had one. Take it easy.
